Prosple Australia/GradAustralia Profiles

My favourite thing about being a junior lawyer is that you’re encouraged to ask questions.

I have found that the Firm not only expresses a commitment to responsible business but also creates space for junior lawyers to take up leadership roles in their areas of interest within responsible business.

The unrivalled global opportunities given to a junior lawyer – unlike other firms where only a select few are allowed to go overseas, CC guarantees a 6-month secondment at one of our international offices.

Herbert Smith Freehills provided a very strong support network during my time away from home and made it an incredibly valuable experience.

The world is your oyster, and you can really go anywhere with a law degree. Being an IP lawyer means I can work in private practice or in-house anywhere.

Johnson Winter Slattery has a wonderful pro bono program that all lawyers and graduates are encouraged to get involved in.

I was lucky to work on some really interesting tasks during my clerkship. This included doing some work for Natasha Blycha on the Australian National Blockchain project, and drafting research notes on various topics, such as the GDPR and ‘Right to be Forgotten’.

Don’t be scared to put your resume out there – remember everyone started off as a student!
